when i say that...i mean i think we should just play well enough to win, instead of trying to dominate the eagles today.....i say we dont show our full hand, and play them conservative(very little blitzing,very little offensive movements and line ups, ect)

so if we win.....they will go back n look at film, and think they can do this and that, too beat us....and we shock them....and vice versa if we lose, vikes will expect something else

And i am hoping Garret saved the best stuff for the playoffs anyways

No....humiliate them...demoralize them....make them wonder how in the heck they can ever beat us. Unleash fire and brimstone against them. Hurt their psyche and raise ours....

We play to win. If the Eagles win we don't play them and we lose a home playoff game.

Good grief, they've got 15 game films and have played us twice a year since forever,,, nothing is a secret except maybe a double-reverse half-back pass that Garrett has deep in his playbook, and if he wants to use it I say "Go For It!"

That's exactly how you get your butt kicked in the NFL.

Playing "not to lose" is playing to lose.

I can see your rationale. If we were a a much better out of division team that was pretty much guaranteed a win, i'd be inclined to agree. But screw that. It's Philly. It's go time, pull no punches. Remember the game last year? This is revenge. No one in the great state of Texas wants to see us pull back the reins(and even some of you out of state folks ;)).

I don't care if we run 30 trick plays and tip our hand to the playoffs. We win this week and Philly has to come back and play again. Shake 'em this week and watch 'em fold next week.

I am just tired of playing not to lose. I think we had enough of that when parcells was here and we saw what happens when you play that way.

This.

I'm not afraid of them. We match up very well with them. Maybe we lose, because they're a good team, but we have just as good a shot as beating them as they do us. Maybe even better.

Let's rip their hearts out this week and then eat them next week.

I'm thirsty for Eagle blood and a triple-dipping sounds just fine to me!

If we play not to lose, we'll get killed.

Philly knows that a win gives them the 2nd seed, and they'd host us in the NFCC.

If they lose they have to go right back to Dallas. They'll be playing to win.
